Port of Fortaleza begins fruit shipments of the 2019-2020 harvest

This week, the Port of Fortaleza (CE) began the flow of the 2019-2020 fruit crop. It is made up of two simultaneous operations with the loading of melon, watermelon, mango, banana, and grape produced in Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, and Bahia. The ship Marfret Guyane departed for Natal (RN) and then proceeds to France, with stops in Spain, the Netherlands, and London. The other operation, carried out by the ship CMA CGM Fort Ste Marie, goes straight to London through the service UK Express.

Marfret Guyane’s operations take a total of 18 days to France and 42 days to return to the Port of Fortaleza. CMA CGM Fort Ste Marie will take 10 days to reach the English capital, with 660 containers, from there it will go to the Netherlands. Each container has a capacity of 29 tons of fruit and the average transported in each one is 25 tons. Through these two vessels, the port of Fortaleza handles 1,794 containers, both full and empty, for loading and unloading.
